  • Summary: It's a whole new ballgame! Major League Baseball 2K7 redefines the pure baseball video game experience with true, Next-Gen details, all-new throwing mechanics and a revolutionary presentation system. Signature Style - Batting stances, waggles, home run celebrations, step-ins and step-outs bring each player to life. True Fielding – Fielder positioning, relay and cutoff A.I. has been redesigned to allow for better, more authentic Major League defensive play. Defensive alignments are now based on who is at the plate. Dynamic Throwing System - Responsive throwing mechanics coupled with unique animations for infield, outfield and situational throws brings your command of the ball to a new level. Inside Edge - Updated for the 2007 season, Inside Edge data is now tied into USER control at the plate.

  1. Astounding graphics, terrific animation, and upgraded fielding controls bring the best of 2006 and make it better for 2007.
  2. The multiplayer game, as with other 2K sports tittles, is pretty much a smooth and lag free experience online.
  3. MLB 2K7 is certainly a better game, but most of the new content is of the visual variety. I can't stress enough how impressive this aspect of the game is. It captures the look, sound, and feel of the game better than anything you've seen before. [Mar 2007, p.98]
  4. The visual upgrade will get you bby this season, 2K, but come back peddling the same lackluster feature set next year and I'm sendin' you to the minors. [Apr 2007, p.89]

    I didn't want to give it a 10 because that means perfection, but a 9 is too low for this game. Beautiful, fun, intuitive. Presentation is outstanding. Gameplay is exceptional. Truly a great baseball game. The eye candy of playing this on a 56" HDTV is beyond enjoyable. it is very early on, but I find myself instant replaying the minutest details just to be sure I saw what I thought I saw. Amazing.

    This is way better than last years game, 2K6. The graphics are amazing. You must have a HDTV to really appreciate the details of the players. The fielding needs to be improved and 2K needs to add different camera angles for fielding. Also the commentary can get repetitive at times. But it's still a solid baseball game. Expand

    Amazing visuals, and a wealth of game modes. Getting the hang of it takes a few games - and it can get frustrating in the batting and fielding aspects of the game, but if you're a fan of baseball or just wanna see how damn good the graphics are getting for the 360 - it's at least worth a rental! Gameplay: 8 Graphics: 9 Sound: 9 Rent or Buy? If you're a hardcore baseball fan, then buy it. All others - rent first. Expand

    I agree with C-Bass. The hitting is horrible. The hitting needs to be changed fast. You can't even tell what is going to be a ball or a strike. When your pitching, the pitching is very good . But overall the game is quite unrealistic. I was playing a game and I got robbed of a home run 8 times in one game. IN ONE GAME! Big changes need to happen with this game. Expand
